350 years and still one of the most beautiful things in existence.

Fun yet sad fact.
When Canon in D was first composed, it died in obscurity, no one knew about it. It wasn't until the late 20th century that the piece was rediscovered and gained the widespread recognition it enjoys today. so Pachelbel didn't know about the success of this piece

Pachelbel stated that it wasnt his work, that something from Heaven flowed through his heart, and he merely wrote the notes.
It is indeed from another realm.

My father died in November 2023. I picked this epic piece of music and Bach´s air for his funeral. Guess, he would have liked it. Everytime I miss him, I just turn on these both masterpieces and he comes back to me. I can literally see him, sitting on a rock at the beach in Italy, with a book in his hand, sorting his thoughts and writing them down. I miss you so much, dad.

I was washing dishes while listening to this music.
Sky was turning blue, orange, then light grey colour as the sun was setting. I thought, " Is heaven going to be as beautiful as this music is?".
I then thought of my friends who departed before me. What do their eyes behold right now, in the marvellous beauty of heaven?

Bill, Cindy, Mr Boccia, I will be with you, soon. Wait for me.

Heavenly Father, i thank you for this beautiful world and the next.
I thank you for loving me . Thank you for sending your Son, Jesus, for someone as wretched as I am.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.

I am a widower, my wife walked down the aisle to this. I smile in my head as a tear rolls down my face remembering the happiest day of our time together. Thank you.

Johann Pachelbel was a German composer, organist and teacher of the Baroque period. Pachelbel is considered an precursor of chamber and church music. The « Canon in D » is the name commonly accompanied by Pachelbel. It is also commonly referred to as the « Canon and Gigue in D ». The canon was originally crafted for basso continuo and three violins, and subsequently paired up with a gigue but more rarely played. The fact is that unlike a traditional canon, it also contains elements of a chaconne. The circumstance or the exact date of its creation is relatively unknown. The suggested time range of creation spans between 1677 to 1706 (1680?) and its oldest surviving manuscript is dated back to the 19th century. In « Canon in D » the composer combined the techniques of both ground bass and canon. Canon, being a polyphonic writing can utilize several voices to play the same melody in a sequence. Pachelbel engaged three voices in his canon, along with basso continuo, a fourth voice that plays independently. A two-bar line is repeated throughout the piece by the bass. This setup is commonly termed as « ground bass » or « ostinato » in musical terms. The key and harmony of the Canon are written in the tonality major, which gives it a bright and joyful sound. Pachelbel makes use of simple and diatonic harmonies, creating a pleasant and accessible musical language. The harmonic progression is based on a series of chords that support the melodic lines. The melody of the « Canon in D » is elegant and memorable. It is primarily played by the violins or other instruments, while the accompanying voices provide harmonic support. Pachelbel employs a contrapuntal texture, where multiple independent melodic lines interweave and create a rich and layered sound. The Canon is characterized by its repetitive bass line, which remains constant throughout the piece. This provides a solid foundation over which the melodic voices develop and vary their themes. Pachelbel explores different variations and ornaments within the melodic lines, keeping and adding depth to the composition. The style used exemplifies the characteristics of Baroque music, which was prominent during his time. It features a balanced and structured form, with elaborate ornamentation. Pachelbel's Canon in D is admired for its refinement and timeless beauty. Its popularity made it one of the most iconic and frequently performed pieces of classical music nowadays. To note that this interpretation is directed by a chamber orchestra and not a baroque ensemble which essentially uses instruments from that period mobilizing a effective of five musicians.

Wonder if Mr. P ever imagined that some 330 years later, this composition would still be lighting up the hearts of people all over the world ...

[ford]

Nothing makes me cry....but this song makes me cry. It cleanses my soul.

[DoudD]

Pachelbel surely had no idea that this would become, arguably, the most loved and recognized compositions of all time

[Ferroun]

No words can describe the beauty I hear and feel...

[nusretsahin]

Can you imagine He wrote this magnificent piece for organ in night time and light of candle and he played this piece for him self. Could be life better than that?

[Braunjnr]

Eternal classic. This will remain until the sea loses it’s saltiness and light fails to overcome darkness. Pachelbel will live forever

[chrisknight]

Musical Genius.
That was a time when people attempted to create the most beautiful sounds imaginable to the ears.

[ONIBlackBox]

If humanity ever ceases to exist I hope this song is left as a memory of us.

[yvonnejackson]

I was driving down the road when this came on the radio. I pulled off the road and wept at such incredible beauty.
A friend once said that music is the voices of man crying out to God.

[andrewk]

We should turn our backs on modern pop music and fully embrace classical

[qrffbou]

If the Holy Spirit were to write music, it would sound just like this.
